Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product was built and tested on Solaris 10 x64 using the
following compilers from Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2:
Sun C 5.11 SunOS_i386 2010/08/13
Sun C++ 5.11 SunOS_i386 2010/08/13
The product was built with the following 64-bit compiler flag:
"-m64"
2. For shared library support, setting the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
(for C Shell)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(for Bourne or Korn Shell)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. IPv6 Support
IBM Informix Server supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet
Addresses) as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS file to resolve to
the correct IP address, the name services files on the operating system
should be correctly configured. If the machine has IPv6 address configured
and the listener thread is bound to an IPv6 address, then the name
resolution files /etc/nsswitch.conf should be configured to fetch IPv6
address. Also use the appropriate /etc/hosts setting if local machine
settings are used.
For compatibility with older IBM Informix client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of SQLHOSTS
file. Client applications should also use the same setting.
